An act relating to theft.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1338, as introduced, Umberg.
Retail theft.
Existing law, until January 1, 2026, makes it a misdemeanor to commit organized retail theft. Existing law defines organized retail theft to include, among other acts, acting as an agent of another individual or group of individuals to steal merchandise from one or more merchant’s premises or online marketplaces as part of an organized plan to commit theft. Under existing law, acts of organized retail theft that are committed on 2 or more separate occasions within a 12-month period and that have an aggregate value that exceeds $950 are punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would reduce the amount of retail theft.
